Candies, soft drinks, dairy products and even certain cereals… The Allura Red food coloring – designated by the FD&C codes red 40, Food Red 17 and E29 – might be a potential trigger for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, according to a study published on December 20, 2022 in the review Nature Communications.
While the use of food colorings has greatly increased in recent decades, their effects on health, and more particularly intestinal health, have been poorly documented. Researchers from McMaster University in Canada found that the dye might have a impact on gut barrier function. Its ingestion might also increase the production of serotonin: if this hormone is naturally present in the intestine, too much can modify the composition of the intestinal microbiota and make it more vulnerable to colitis.
